I've got a pretty basic HP all in one thingumywhatsit. Does the job

Lydia has not really said what her requirements are, so it's hard to answer her. I'd like to know:
How many pages printed a month?
Colour or black and white?
Documents or photos?
How important is speed?
Scanning - ADF needed?
How fast does it need to scan?
Single sided scans or duplex?

DW had a very impressive canon printer that sadly just stopped working. It ran on clone cartridges which were cheap to buy.

She currently has an hp office jet 6700 supplied by work. The printer is impressive. It has an ADF, but scanning speed is rather slow. Her employer supplies original hp cartridges, so I have not looked for clones.

I use an old hp laser jet printer that is fast enough and cheap to run, but black and white only, and a separate scanner that scans both sides of the page extremely fast.

I've got 3 females living with me (OH and two DD's)

Ditto.

P.S. They were born sons, but judging by the interest they have in their haircuts.......:eek:

Like other, NP, though, I'm another one who's had a safe pregnancy and a healthy baby after having lost the previous baby (at 9 weeks), so hoping and praying all will go well from here on for you (all four of you).

Me too, I lost the baby at 9.5 weeks. Subsequent little bruiser is now 6ft 2 inches.
My 2 youngest brothers are fraternal twins. My mother had me, then 2 boys, and was hoping for another girl to balance things out; instead got twin boys. She didn't find out it was twins till she was 5 months gone.

Congratulations to mr and mrs chewie.

Many congrats Chewy and Mrs Chewy. You better start saving - 2 of everything car seats expensive. We have grand twins, that came out as brandy wine first time, hate predictive text rolls eyes.

Home to power probs in utility room fridge freezer off so goodbye a lot of stuff. Not sure we 'll claim, see what it was.

3rd thing one of narrows from little rotted to liquid in kitchen.

Dentist tomorrow (and cAr mot) what could possibly go wrong?

If you ever though apple's auto correct was strange, Kindle's is outrageous! Brandy wine made me giggle. I think I translated marrows from the lottie?

Brilliant.

I know it is far far harder for the mother after a miscarriage, but the father can have a traumatic time of it too. HID#1 and I went through it twice, and it was one of the happiest days of my life (and a weight off me) when I found out she had successfully given birth, even though it was with her 2nd hubby.

Generali

Mrs Generali had a miscarriage before The Boy came along. Dark, dark days.

Something like 1 in seven RECOGNISED pregnancies end in miscarriage and a doctor told me a far more shocking figure for ones during normal menstrual cycle time.

A lot of people will be able to know how it all feels. .

Both middle and youngest have longer hair than me! James cut his hair just before he went to uni last year otherwise it would have been a hat trick.

Josh doesn't want to cut his hair, youngest would like it cut but I can't arrange it as yet because he hasn't decided what length/style he would like and is completely freaked out at someone being so close to him...hair cuts were always a complete trial, much like buying shoes.

Personally, I'd say the way road users respond to different vehicles says a lot about them.

I was being heavy on the irony/sarcasm!;)

Fraternal which is a good thing apparently (and also because only 25% instead of 50% chance that they are both girls leaving me horribly outnumbered).

How can they tell? Does this kind of info come from an amnio? I never had an amnio and never had twins either, so don't know these things.

Lydia has not really said what her requirements are, so it's hard to answer her. I'd like to know:
How many pages printed a month? A few 10s of pages, I think. Sometimes more, sometimes less. A lot of them are DS or DD rather than me, which makes it harder for me to calculate.
Colour or black and white? Colour
Documents or photos? Both
How important is speed? Only moderately
Scanning - ADF needed? Probably not
How fast does it need to scan? Not enormously important
Single sided scans or duplex? Single sided fine - duplex would be nice but only if it doesn't cost loads more, which I suspect it might

I currently have an HP that prints with accompanying hideous grinding sounds, and lost the ability to scan ages and ages ago. I have been meaning to replace it for months, and now that it's complaining that it's running out of ink, I thought I'd better get my act in gear and get the replacement rather than getting more ink for something that doesn't actually do everything I need. I especially want to be able to scan DS's homework sheets, which in many subjects are 2 x A4 reduced to 70% to fit on one page. Being dyslexic, he finds this difficult, both to read and to write on, so I want to be able to scan and print them back to full size for him, since the teachers don't seem to be able to remember to do a full size one just for him, even though I've requested it.
